INTRODUCTION
This Amendment No. 3 to the Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on
Schedule 13E-3 (this "Amendment") is being filed by Rawson-Koenig, Inc.,
a Texas corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the tender offer
by the Company for all the issued and outstanding shares of its common
stock, no par value (the "Common Stock") held by persons or entities
that own Common Stock (the "Public Shareholders") upon the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated
August 28, 1997 (the "Offer to Purchase") and the related Letter of
Transmittal (which together with the Offer to Purchase constitute the
"Offer").
ITEM 10. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
Item 10 of the Schedule 13E-3 is hereby amended and supplemented as
follows:
The Offer expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on October
31, 1997. Based on the preliminary count, which has been subsequently
finalized, approximately 1,282,132 Shares were tendered pursuant to the
Offer, of which 34,314 were tendered pursuant to notices of guaranteed
delivery. Such Shares (including Shares delivered pursuant to notices
of guaranteed delivery) constituted approximately 33% of the outstanding
Shares and approximately 82% of the outstanding Shares held by persons
other than the Rawson Family. On Tuesday, November 4, 1997, all Shares
validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer
were accepted for payment. The Shares acquired in the Offer were
retired. As a result, the Rawson Family owns approximately 89% of the
outstanding Shares. The Board of Directors of the Company by resolution
declared a reverse stock split of 1 for 100 Shares to be effective on
the record date of November 24, 1997. After the reverse stock split is
completed on November 24, 1997, the Rawson Family will own over 90% of
the outstanding Shares, which is a sufficient number of Shares to enable
the Rawson Family to effect the Merger without a vote or meeting of the
Company's shareholders. The Rawson Family intends to effect the Merger
as soon as practicable after completion of the reverse stock split. A
press release issued by the Company on November 7, 1997, announcing the
expiration of the Offer and the acceptance of validly tendered Shares is
attached hereto as Exhibit (d)(8) and is incorporated herein by
reference. A press release issued by the Company on November 11, 1997,
announcing the reverse stock split is attached hereto as Exhibit (d)(9)
and is incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 17. MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS.
Item 17 of the Schedule 13E-3 is hereby amended by adding the
following:
(d)(8) Press Release issued by the Company November 7, 1997.
(d)(9) Press Release issued by the Company November 11, 1997.
